The Great TV/Basement Experiment ... Humor Me!

[Adamantium]

Let's say you are part of an experiment. You are locked in a basement for five years (don't worry, there will be a couple other people, so you don't get lonely). You're aloud to bring every episode of a few shows with you. You can watch nothing but the shows you pick. To make it more interesting, I am giving different categories for shows.

3 Sitcoms from the 1950's to 1960's:

3 Sitcoms from the 1970's to 1980's:

3 Sitcoms from the 1990's to Present:

3 Animated Sitcoms:

3 Sitcoms from the 1950's to 1960's:

My Three Sons (1960-1972)
McHale's Navy (1962-1966)
The Lucy Show (1962-1968)

3 Sitcoms from the 1970's to 1980's:

The Bob Newhart Show (1972-1978)
Happy Days (1974-1984)
Mork & Mindy (1978-1982)

3 Sitcoms from the 1990's to Present:

Family Matters (1989-1998)
Coach (1989-1997)
Frasier (1993-2004)

3 Animated Sitcoms:

The Simpsons (1989-present)
Family Guy (1999-2002)

I'll trade a third one (see below)



3 Dramas/Sci-Fi:

Alfred Hitchcock Presents/The Alfred Hitchcock Hour (1955-65)
Mission: Impossible (1966-1973)
Fantasy Island (1977-1984)

3 Sid and Marty Krofft Shows:

None

I'll trade for these shows:

The F.B.I. (1965-1974)
Cannon (1971-1976)
Barnaby Jones (1973-1980)
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988-1999)


Aside from two shows, Mork & Mindy, and Family Guy, I chose shows that have a lot of episodes.

My Three Sons (380 + reunion)
McHale's Navy (138)
The Lucy Show (156)
The Bob Newhart Show (142)
Happy Days (255)
Mork & Mindy (95)
Family Matters (215)
Coach (200)
Frasier (259)
The Simpsons (333+)
Family Guy (51)
Alfred Hitchcock Presents/The Alfred Hitchcock Hour (361)
Mission: Impossible (171)
Fantasy Island (157 plus pilot movie)
The F.B.I. (240)
Cannon (124 + pilot movie and reunion movie)
Barnaby Jones (178)
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (210, including all specials and videos and the unaired pilot)


That would be 3,669 episodes, pilot movies, and TV movies.

Wow, I have no memory of starting this thread at all, lol. I guess by this point, we can add another category... 3 Sitcoms from the 2000s.

Seems like the Sid and Marty Krofft category was dumb. I must have been watching some of those shows around that time, haha.
